the shoes

Wanted: Name of my totally awesome childhood sneakers

Last Seen: Sported with probably an Espirit outfit, crimped hair and an array of slap bracelets dancing to New Kids on the Block

So, this past weekend I watched one of my favorite chick flicks..."Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" {oh how I love this movie} and in between noticing how SJP desperately needed her eyebrows waxed I couldn't help but notice the rad fashion choices. It got me thinking of my own 80's choices that I sported {many regrettable ones I'm sure}. Then I had a flashback to my shoes the keds & jellies and the ones I cannot remember.

And it's driving me crazy.

I even googled it and found nothing.

I'm really embarrassed to tell you I googled that.

So, fellow 80's friends if anyone can help put my fashion mystery to an end you'd be cooler than "Dance TV". They were a slip on canvas sneaker, usually in bright obtrusive colors with a bow on the toe and the awesomeness to them was the ribbons that you could tuck in your shoe or lace up the leg.
